Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Chrysanthemum, particularly Chrysanthemum morifolium (commonly known as "ju hua" in Traditional Chinese Medicine), has been used in traditional medicine systems—especially in East Asia—for a variety of ailments, including fever, headaches, and eye problems. There are also traditional references to its use for symptoms that might be associated with earache or ear infection, such as inflammation or general pain relief. However, these uses are based primarily on empirical tradition rather than on rigorous scientific study. Modern pharmacological research into Chrysanthemum has focused mainly on its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but there are no well-conducted clinical trials or robust scientific studies specifically supporting its use for ear infections or earaches. The traditional rationale is that Chrysanthemum is considered to "clear heat" and "dispel wind"—concepts rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine rather than biomedical science. As such, while the herb does have a long history of use for various ailments, evidence supporting its efficacy for ear infections or earaches remains anecdotal and not scientifically validated.
